come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land.

and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;

and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.

then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Sidon,

He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spake by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.

Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:

shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.

Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to Jehovah: Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast my covenant;

They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward,'saying , Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.

And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries.

Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah.

Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly.

And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days journey.

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

And Jehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me unto thee.

And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying,

Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;

And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the'son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the'son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:

And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him.

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

And they said, Some'say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:

Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?

But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.

And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

And going on a little further, he saw James the'son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.

And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

and James the'son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And king Herod heard thereof ; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

But Herod, when he heard thereof , said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;

John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.

in the highpriesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
